Panama Embera people Indian Village Indigenous Indio indios natives Native americans locals local Parque National Chagres. Embera Drua. Embera Drua is located on the Upper Chagres River. A dam built on the river in 1924 produced Lake Alajuela, the main water supply to the Panama Canal. The village is four miles upriver from the lake, and encircled by a hectare National Park of primary tropical rainforest. Lake Alajuela can be accessed by bus and mini-van from the city of Panama. It lies an hour from the city, close to the town of Las Cumbres. From a spot called Puerto El Corotu (less a port than a muddy bank with a little store that serves as a dock to embark and disembark from canoes) on the shore of the lake, it takes 45 minutes to an hour to climb up the Rio Chagres to Embera Drua ina a motorized dugout. The village was founded in 1975 by Emilio Caisamo and his sons. They first called it community as it was the name of the meteorological station constructed by the Panama Canal Commission located a little up river from the present community.
